This is for Takato Metallium. You, my friend, gave me a hard piece to write. So I tried combining the two ideas u gave me XD I hope you like it...
Later
It almost seemed to burn in his pocket. The smooth leather case that held the product of months of indecision.
With determination and a bit of pride, Sanji waltz over to the silent sniper and sat down next to him.
"Leaving?"
"Maybe"
"…To be stronger?"
"To take a break, really."
Sanji twisted his hands. "A break? From what?"
Usopp shrugged, not looking at Sanji. The blonde opened his mouth to speak, his hands itching to remove the burning ring in his pocket.
"I…"
"Hm?"
And finally, Usopp looked at him. Sanji saw the weariness in him. The bright eyes, full of adventure and lies were now blank, completely hiding the secrets within. Sanji didn't like that. Maybe…
"Sanji?" The cook shook his head, looking away from the eyes he had fallen in love with over time. "Nothing Usopp. You left us once and now you're leaving again"
The younger male let a sad, tired sigh escape him. "These things happen" His voice was worn and deep, almost depressing. Not anything like the high-pitched screams of fright or the humorous laughter he was used to.
Now the case seemed to throb in his pocket, begging to be let free. Maybe…
"Don't you have a reason to stay here? Aren't we enough?"
Usopp seemed to think for a minute and then he bit his lip, saying "No…I don't have a reason to stay here. Not now. Not yet."
"Why do you stay here Usopp? You can be a brave warrior all on your own!"
"For my loyal crew of course! Captain Usopp would NEVER abandon his friends. Ahahahahahaha!"
This was not that same boy. Not the same boy who could break the mood as fast as he could make it.
Sanji put a hand on the case in his pocket, torn. Maybe…
"I'm leaving for a good reason. I need…" He seemed to stop, knowing what to say but hesitant to do so.
While Usopp was looking for the right words to say, Sanji was having an inner battle.
This isn't the same little bastard I started to…Usopp isn't the same anymore. It's not fair. The moment I make my decision…so does he…
His mind made up, Sanji took Usopp's hands in his own, stopping the sniper's futile splutters. "I understand. We all do. It's just… You've changed."
Usopp nodded, seeming almost grateful for the interruption. "I'll be back. It'll be the same as before only….better. Maybe."
"Yeah…" And that's when Sanji remembered about the band in his pocket, the promise he wanted Usopp to keep to him, his hearts desire.
"Maybe later…"
"Huh?"
"Nothing"

Omgimgonnafuckingkillmyself XDDDDDDD
Ok. Reasons why this fic sucked: One, after Luffy punched Lucci out of the building, I stopped reading. Why? I have no idea. And I've been avoiding the manga for a while, needing some air.
Two, That was really hard ;; Usopp acting like Robin? Pwn. Seriously dudette, I've been jumped by a fanfiction plot XDDDDD
Three, I have no idea .-.
But I tried my best and I hope that it meets your standards… ahhh this has to be one of my worst and I've written sum pretty shitty ones. But for the sake of my lovely reviewers I type! XDDD
